<p>Hi, i have a UC gpa of 3.49, 1800 SAT, and ok SAT2 scores. 670 US history, 590 Literature. I don't have too many extra-curiculars but i'm half thai half white if that distinguishes me a little. My counselor said i have a chance at USC and i dunno if she's just bs'in or not. I do plan to break 2000 on the next SAT tho or at least in the 1900's. So what is my chance?</p>
<p>Even though i KNOW it's Southern California, i always think USC stands for 'University of South Carolina.'</p>
<p>...just to let you know.</p>
<p>I would say- definitely retake the SATs. And make yourself remarkable in the essays. And you stand a fair shot. Good luck!</p>
<p>most people(at least outside the south) automatically think its southern cali..</p>
<p>Oh, i know... I don't even know if there IS a University of South Carolina. My mind just always jumps to that.</p>
<p>Eh.</p>
<p>Again, good luck!~</p>
<p>^ there actually is University of South Carolina and it's shortened form is USC as well.</p>
<p>Uhm, sorry to say but USC seems quite a reach for you right now. Your GPA's low (try to be in the 3.7+ at least... safe side) and above 2000+ or at least in the 1900's somewhere.</p>
<p>Your SAT II's are ok but try to raise literature (at least try to put everything in the 600's somewhere)</p>
<p>I goto USC (soCAl one lol) and it's getting really competitive (25% acceptance last yr... it'll get lower probably) and i believe average SAT was 2100 and 3.8 last year...</p>
<p>I don't know if being half asian/half white will help you all that much. I mean USC's mostly white and asian people anyhow... it probably would've helped more if you were native american/mexican/or african american or something.</p>
<p>Killer essay will help as well. Good luck.</p>
<p>USC= Reach</p>
